Explanation
On April 28, 2025, the Mayor asked the Housing, Safety and Community Committee to consider policy and/or ordinance considerations that may be needed to strengthen the city’s ability to ensure street vendors and peddlers contribute to a safe and vibrant atmosphere, including the fine structure for illegal vending. The Committee will receive a summary of current ordinances, a benchmarking analysis of street vendor policies of large cities across the nation, and discuss next steps.
